This year's occasion when I saw the biggest splashes (again, perhaps up to 1 foot) was right after Grand -- Vent and Turban were still going. </div> <div>   </div> <div> Item #2 -- I've never been clear on the Key versus Shoe business, but has anybody else had the idea that Key is that (presently) orange thing that is, indeed, shaped like a Key much more than it is like a shoe AND that Shoe was/is that smaller hole that is closer to Grand? </div> <div>   </div> <div> Scott Bryan </div> </div> </body> </html>
